MSNwar Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 From AXCEL216's Site. If one of these two fits your situation visit the web site for the fix.http://members.aol.com/axcel216/xp2.htm#GBYCGET BACK YOUR CD/DVDThis is a two part BUG fix.1. BUG:Users of CD/DVD (re)writing software (Roxio/Adaptec Easy CD Creator + DirectCD, Ahead Nero Burning ROM etc) may bump into error messages such as "No ASPI devices installed" while using any of these utilities.This is due to a flaw into the Adaptec ASPI Layer settings.ASPI stands for Advanced SCSI Programming Interface, but this applies to ALL (E)IDE/ATAPI/SCSI CD-R(W)/DVD-R(W)/DVD-RAM drive owners.2. BUG:After installing/uninstalling Roxio (Adaptec) Easy CD Creator v5.0x, v4.0x or older and/or DirectCD v3.0x on/from your Windows NT4/2000/XP system, your CD-ROM/CD-R(W)/DVD-ROM/DVD-R(W)/DVD-RAM drives may get suddenly lost. The CD/DVD drive icon(s) may disappear from My Computer, Windows Explorer and any other disk/file browsing app. Also, if you try to view/open/run any CD/DVD based folder/file, you may encounter several popup messages linked to one of these error Codes: 19, 31, 32, 39 and/or 41.Hope this helps.

Rob Posted June 22, 2003 Author Share Posted June 22, 2003 Woah Playing with the registry though... I have never done that, is it really safe for a n00b to do so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSNwar Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 No its not safe unless you make a backup first. MSFN Guide "Backup your Registry". Once you have a Registry Backup you can always return to the registries previous settings. This is a very easy registry modification, so it would be a good base for learning more about the Windows Registry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
